Ireland feeling at the Limmatplatz

Three trucks full of furniture and decorative objects, such as Vintage-beer signs has driven the Crew of the Pubs, The Green Room, from Ireland to Zurich. The Transport, as well as the cooperation with a professional Pub designer to have paid off: The Local in the X-tra-building was rented on the Limmat place with a beer garden, in the last of the famous vegan eatery Elle ’n’ Belle, is sent. It is the second Pub, which opened the Irishman's Beard Trayers and his wife Mel in Zurich, according to the Kennedy's at the Europaallee.

Dark wooden walls divide the 350 square metre space in a variety of small, softly-lit compartments. There are Bar tables for intimate conversation, for big groups and a lot of space on a huge.

Otherwise, the Pub-culture is not very inclined to, we feel here immediately at home. Of the map with open Beers, which leads of course Guinness, we order a big, Belgian Grimbergen (9 Fr.) as well as a small, Irish Smithwicks (5.20 Fr.); a fruit fitting, tangy brew, we drink the first Time. Too bad, the only English-speaking waiter 15 minutes to bring us the drinks.

He is in the well-stocked Shop, apparently, only from a colleague supported in the Service. Until we can tell him that we want to eat and the menu, another 15 minutes. The food offer focuses on Pub food such as burgers or Curries, and starting in February with a lunch menu expanded, we order a Beef Pie (25.50 Fr.).

In the case of the Irish speciality is a spicy beef stew. He is stewed ceiling with a decoction of Guinness beer, Tabasco, thyme and Worcestershire Sauce, and mushrooms under a puff pastry. We like that a lot better than the gourami knusperli the Fish-and-Chips-Serving (28.50 Fr.). The Fries are good: the outside crispy, the inside soft, pronounced potato flavor. At the next concert or Open Mic night, we will order the fries again. Because The Green Room wants to establish itself in the future as a venue.
